FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES.

For two years have beer confined to bed with loathesome form of Blood Poison. which had about eaten me up, and l and others had no hope of recovery. For awhile could neither walk, sit down, nor lie down, only in misery as my flesh seemed to be falling off my bones in pieces as big as hen egg. My appetite waslost, my bones ached and pained me. and friends even summed me. I used various blood purify CTS without benefit, and several physicians treated me until large sums of money had been expended, but not one particle of gooi did any one give me.
 On the 9th of February. 1886, MT. F. R. Jacksou called to sec if l was nos dead. as it was thought could not endure my suffering much longer. He concluded to try a bottle of B B. B. and got one from Mr. Brockng- ton at Beaufort, S. C., and before it had all been used l commenced gaining strength. my appetite imptoved. and sores commenced 3 healing and when two bottles had been used was on my feet and walking around to the astonishment of everybody.

TO BE SHOT AT NOON.
A True Story of the War.
BY CAPT. W. F. GORDON.


 Never mind my business, or how was betrayed, and how l was gathered m. Enough that they got me lSO miles inside the enemy's lines, and hustled me of to prison at Fort McHenry, in Baltimore harbor, where I was confronted with the charge of being a spy. No matter that l had on when captured, my fall uniform as cap tain. No matter that at my court martial trial their own officer who captured me testified that he did not take me as a spy, and that there was no work for a spy where he captured me.
 No matter, I was found guilty, and the sentence was read to me: "To be hanged as a spy on the parade ground of Fort McHenry, between the hours of l2 m. and 5 o'clock D. m, November 3, lS63."
 In answer to my request that It they must kill me, for the sake of honor to give me the death of a soldier they graciously changed the papers to read: "To be shot to death on the parade ground, etc."
 Somehow I suppose l did not fully comprehend my situation, for I did not feel any more than l do now that death was to be my next deal. Nor had at all contempla- ted that result all through the trial. Only the last day before that sen tence was read to me, l had been creating merriment by asking pug zling or irrelevant questions of the judge advocate, telling jokes dur ing the recesses of the court, in divers manners creating fun to draw mirth for myself out of that barren rock, "military justice" Only the day before, tue president of the court martial, the colonel oi the regiment, twelve ol whose of' fcers composed my adjudicators, asked to talk little with me in private as between man and man
 'Captain," said he, "l greatly fear you do not properly appreci ate your present situation"
 "Well, Colonel, l know of ho man more favorably situated to realize it. Why do you say sol"
 "Because, sir, your life IS al stake in this trial"
 rWellln
 "Well, you'll be found guilty most assuredly, of the charge"
 "Well?"
 "You'll be sentenced to die.'
 "Well!'
 "And you'll be hanged or shot And here you have been spending the leisure hours, of the court try ing you for life, in.friyolous testing and nirth. AS d fellow'man, il grieyes me to see you so careless ly playing at so terrible a brink al you stand on.'

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
BY FATHER RYAN, OF MOBILE. ALA.

Furl that banner, for 'tis weary, Round its staff 'tis dropping dreary;
 Furl it, fold it, it is best. For there's not man to wave 1t, And there's not sword to save it, And there's not one left to lave it In the blood that heroes gave it;
 Furl it, hide it, let it rest. Take that banner down, 'tis tattered, Broken is its staff, and shattered. And the valiant ones are scattered
 Over whom it fioated high. Oh. 'tis hard for us to fold it, Hard to think there's none to hold 1t; Hard that those who once unrolled 1t,
 Now must furl it with sigh. Furl that banner, furl it sadly, Once ten thousand hailed it gladly, And ten thousand. wildly. madly,
 Swore it should forever wave. Swore that foeman's swords should never, Hearts like theirs, entwined, discover, Till that flag should float forever
 Ger their freedom, or their grave.
 ". Furl it. for the Lands that grasped 1t, And the hearts that tondly claspcd It,
 Cold and dead are lying low. And that banner it is trailing, While around it sounds the waillng
 Of its people in their woe. For though conquered, they adore it, Love the cold, dead hands that bore 1t, Weep for those who fell before it, Pardon those who trailed and tore it; And oh. wildly they deplore it!
 Now to furl and fold it so. Furl that banner: true 'tis gory, Yet 'tis wreathed around with glory, And twill live in song and story,
 Though its folds are in the dust; For its fame on brightest pages, Penned by poets and by sages, Should go sounding down the ages,
 Furl it's folds though now we must. Furl that banner. softly, slowly; Treat it gently, it is holy,
 For it droops above the dead; Touch it not, unfold it never; Let it droop there, ftirIed forever,
 For its peoples hopes are dead.
